Things here were exactly how it was in the Chinese movies I had watched. Maids were everywhere around the house. Cleaning, cooking and following me around. Ruomei was right. From what I found out, I was really in the body of their young mistress. Although I didn't know what the behavior of their young mistress was, its seems they were afraid of her.
"Young mistress! What are you doing here?" Ruomei said pulling me out of my thoughts.
"What happened? Why are you so loud?"
"Forgive me young mistress. Its just that I have searched everywhere for you. I have summoned a physician to check on you. Please follow me inside" she said pushing me to head inside.
Sometimes, I think she might be the only one not afraid of me.
"Young mistress, here he is. I shall take my leave"Ruomei says and leaves.
"Greetings to you young mistress. I am Chen Tianfei. Please stretch out your hand" he says using a white handkerchief to cover my hand.
According to them, unmarried women should not be seen or touched by men. It was sincerely fascinating. No, all their traditions were fascinating. After minutes of reading my pulse, he didn't say anything but instead starting packing his tools.
"What is wrong with me?" I ask obviously knowing there is nothing wrong with me. But what he says shocks me even more.
"Nothing. Obviously, you are not from here." he says. I run to check if Ruomei is outside.
"How did you know that?" I ask
"I come from the Shijan clan. I would not be its successor if I didn't know you are not from here. Just be careful. If they find out you are not Wu Lijuan, General Wu will have your head" he says coldly and stands up.
Suddenly, Ruomei rushes in.
"Doctor, what is wrong with our young mistress?" she asks
"She has amnesia. Make sure you follow my prescription carefully. She will recover in three months. Excuse me" he says but I block him.
"Wait! Explain exactly what you were saying!" I shout. He leans forward and I lean back afraid of his intentions.
"If you want to die, that's fine by me but do it when am not here. If you want to know more, I will see you later." He says and pushes me away. Ruomei has to catch me.
"How arrogant!!! Who does he think he is?" I say annoyed. If he didn't know my secret, I would have made him pay but I better not make enemies when I know nothing about the Wu Household.
"Don't mind him young mistress. He is the young master of the Shijan Clan. He is very skillful and arrogant. Time for bed young mistress"
Another day is approaching and I have no idea what its holds...
